Our Services
At Canine Compass, we offer a variety of services for all of your different needs.
Private Lessons
$90+
Our private dog training lessons offer one-on-one support tailored to your dog’s unique needs and your training goals. These sessions focus on foundational obedience skills such as sit, stay, recall, leash manners, and impulse control, all taught using positive, reward-based methods. Private lessons provide a comfortable, distraction-free environment to build clear communication and confidence between you and your dog. One private lesson is $90 for an hour session. Six weeks of private lessons is $450 and eight weeks of private lessons includes off-leash training, complete with an e-collar provided to the owner and is priced at $950. As part of the program, we include one guided public outing to practice skills in a real-world setting, helping your dog learn to remain focused and well-behaved around everyday distractions.
Behavior Modification
$100+
Behavior modification helps address issues like resource guarding, reactivity, fear, and aggression by targeting the root cause—often anxiety or past experiences. Techniques like desensitization, counterconditioning, and positive reinforcement are used to replace unwanted behaviors with more appropriate responses. With patience and consistency, dogs can learn to feel safer and behave more calmly in challenging situations. No dog is a bad dog, they are simply misunderstood. We are here to help give your dog the clarity he/she deserves. The amount of sessions will depend on each individual dog.
Board and Train
Coming Soon
Our board and train programs offer two tailored options to fit your dog’s needs and your training goals. The more affordable option focuses on foundational obedience skills like sit, down, stay, come, place, and heel, all taught with positive reinforcement to build a strong and reliable partnership. For those seeking advanced training, our premium program includes off-leash recall, more complex obedience commands, and introduces e-collar training to enhance communication and reliability in a variety of environments. The e-collar is provided to the owner at the end of the board and train. Both options provide intensive, hands-on training while your dog stays with us, setting them up for lasting success. There is a 3 week obedience board and train option, as well as a 6 week board and train option.
Group Classes
$160+
Our group classes provide a fun, supportive environment for dogs and their owners to learn together. We offer specialized puppy classes that focus on early socialization, basic obedience, and building positive experiences with other dogs and people. For dogs of all ages, our basic obedience classes cover essential commands like sit, stay, come, and loose-leash walking, helping to improve manners and communication. Group settings also offer valuable opportunities for dogs to practice skills around distractions while gaining confidence and social skills in a friendly, controlled atmosphere.
Service Dogs and Therapy Dogs
Coming Soon
Our service dog training program specializes in autism assistance dogs, with training tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual and family. These dogs are taught specific tasks such as interrupting repetitive behaviors, providing deep pressure therapy, helping with transitions, and improving safety by preventing elopement. We work closely with families to understand their goals and daily challenges, creating customized training plans that support greater independence, emotional regulation, and connection. Therapy dog training is also available for those looking to provide comfort and support in community settings. All dogs are trained with compassion, consistency, and positive reinforcement to ensure they’re reliable, responsive, and confident in their roles.
Detection Dogs
Coming Soon
We specialize in providing expertly trained detection dogs for a range of vital services. Our canines are rigorously trained to detect narcotics, conservation targets (such as endangered species scat or invasive plants), mold, and bed bugs with precision. Whether you're a law enforcement agency, conservation group, property manager, or homeowner, our detection teams deliver fast, accurate results while remaining discreet and professional. Trust in the power of a dog’s nose—proven to be one of the most effective detection tools in the world. Let us help you uncover what can’t be seen.
Search and Rescue
Coming Soon
We offer specialized training for search and rescue (SAR) and trailing dogs, focusing on developing strong scent discrimination, tracking, and problem-solving skills. Whether the goal is to locate missing persons, assist in disaster response, or support local law enforcement, our program builds a reliable working partnership between handler and dog. Training includes real-world scenarios, obedience under pressure, and exposure to a variety of environments to prepare dogs for challenging conditions. Each program is tailored to the specific needs and goals of the team, ensuring the dog’s skills are mission-ready and dependable in critical situations.
Specialized Sporting and Hunting, Trailing
$200+
We offer training in specialized dog sports such as dock diving, scent work, and rally obedience, designed to channel your dog’s energy, intelligence, and drive into fun, structured activities. These sports not only strengthen the bond between dog and handler but also improve focus, confidence, and overall behavior. Whether your dog is diving into the water with enthusiasm, navigating scent puzzles, or mastering precision moves in rally obedience, we tailor each training plan to your dog’s individual strengths and goals. Our programs are suitable for all levels—from beginners to competitors—and are built on positive reinforcement, engagement, and a love for learning.
